He re-emerged from the residence holding what the officers said looked like a handgun. An unrelated witness told police they heard officers forcefully tell the man to drop the gun, Mesa Police said.

The man raised the gun at the officers, and one officer discharged their service weapon, police said.

Mesa Police identified the man as Michael D. Fletcher, 53.

“It appears Fletcher died from a single gunshot wound that is suspected to come from the officer’s duty weapon,” the police statement said.

CNN has reached out to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office for additional information on Fletcher’s death. A spokesperson said an autopsy has not been performed and a report has not been finalized.

The incident was captured on body camera, the statement said. CNN has also reached out to the Mesa mayor’s office for comment.

Officer-involved shootings are investigated and forwarded to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for disposition, Mesa Police Detective Nikolas Rasheta said. The officers involved in this incident have been placed on paid administrative leave per standard procedure until they are cleared to return to duty, Rasheta said.
